Roasted Veal Shanks with Rosemary Reviews

Because the veal shanks are so
impressive, Lidia likes to bring the veal (still on the bone)
to the table for guests to admire. She then takes the meat
back into the kitchen, carves it, and serves it family-style.

Very delicious... and great for entertaining since you can make ahead. My husband (who is very picky) loved it. I did cook the meat at a lower temp (350) and for a longer amount of time adding stock as needed. Also I did not puree vegetables but just left them as they were... Will definitely save this recipe...

This was good, but not wonderful, I was disappointed as I was hoping for much more flavor. Very important to get whole veal shanks, which are hard to find and expensive, as pre-cut slices will disappear into nothing.

I made the entire
Fruili menu for a
birthday dinner. The
favorites were the
veal and gnocchi,
though everything
was liked. I almost
gave up on finding
this cut of meat.
Butchers told me it
would take 2 weeks
to order. Finally, I
found it at a
gourmet grocer, and
the 2 shanks weighed
5 1/3 lbs total. The
sauce and meat had a
complex, rich
flavor, and the veal
had a silky moist
texture. Doesn't
require too much
hands-on time.
